When arrived ut Madrid from Cor
dova, and drove to my hotel, found
that / had for my next-doOr neighbor
Count Arnim, who was equerry
to Prince HOhenzollern-Sigma
who, with his wife, the infanta of Por-
tugal, occupied the whole floor below.
This prince, the reader will remember,
was one time a candidate for the throne
OF Spain, and he was one of the ex-
cuses for the Franco-German war. L
was not sorry he had come to my hotel,
because all the royal family Of Spain
came to pay him a visit, and gave me
a good opportunity of seeing them, as
we had to pass each other on the
stairs. The queen OF Spains visit was
delightfully."- simple. She drove up to
the hotel and got out of her carriage
and walked into the passage at 4 in
the afternoon. The prince, who was
watching behind the glass swing doors,
bobbed out and kissed her hand, and
led her upstairs. There were no
police, no crowd, no fuss, no any
thing.
As soon as the queen of Spain had
gone up to the princes room / went to
mine. When / came down the prince
and Count Solms, the German ambas-
sador, and the son of the duke of Mont
pensier (Don Antonio) were conduct
ing the queen back to her carriage.
1 stood up in corner to let them pass.
The queen, who looked rather worn
and ill, gave me pleasant bow and
passed on. As she passed / heard
something fall, and on looking down
l saw that the queen had dropped her
bracelet. 1 picked it up and was going
to give it to her, but l had to settle
how to attract her attention first. /
couldn't shout Hi" to her majesty. /
couldn't touch her it is death to touch
the queen of Spain), and / couldn't
say ''Oiga! which is the Spanish for
''Hip and didn't know enough Span
ish to make courtly speech. Sud-
denly l remembered that the queen
was German. In my best German
exclaimed: "Your majesty has dropped
this" The queen, the prince, Don
Antonio, and the German ambassador
all turned round. The price was COM
ing back to fetch the bracelet, but the
queen stopped him with gesture and
motioned me to approach.
Augustus Harris, who was looking
on over the banister, says l did it
beautifully, but 1 don't remember
quite what 1 did. 1 only know that
the queen took the bracelet and made
me charming speech of thanks in
German, and held out her hand, and
l. being slightly confused, shook it
heartily. Mr.. Harris told me after
ward that ought not to have shaken
the royal hand, but to have kissed it.
l dare say he is right. because he is
more used to the society of kings
and queens and prineesses than l.

Jumped the Wrong Claim.

A lively tale of claim-jumping comes
to US, says the Atwood (COlo.) AdUo-
cate, from beyond the Frenchman
country, many miles southeast of
Sterling. Six months ago Miss Minnie
Palmer, bright young lady of "a
happy years, from Manhattan, Kas-,
filed a preemption claim on 100 acres
of fine Government land near the
Burlington & Missouri in the eastern
part of the State. The claimant erect
ed a comfortable one-story frame
house, dug well, had ten acres
fenced, and three months ago went to
Denver and took service in hotel to
replenish her depleted pocketbook and
buy seed for spring crops, etc. Dur
ing her absence a new railroad was
surveyed through the land and it
promised to become q valuable prop
erty.
Last week Miss Minnie returned to
her claim to find the house occupied
by big strapping Nebraskan, who
informed her that he had homesteaded
the land six weeks before and ''dot by
shimminie he would dot land holt un-
til the goat offer his back cum" Ex-
postulation and arguments were of no
avail, anu Oh Tic bhdb oHO
wished to get something out of her
trunk gained admission to the house,
hurriedly closing the door in the
Teuton's face, who was about to enter
with bucket of water in his hand.
How that Dutchman raved and swore
it would take profane history to relate.
The door was most too strong to
force, so the window was next tried,
raised, and the claim-jumper had one
leg over the window-sill when bullet
from little 22-calibre pill-thrower
entered his left shoulder, and before
he could turn his head to expectorate
another found lodgment in his hip,
and as he dropped to the ground a
third parted his hair in the middle,
making an insignificant scalp wound.
The injured claim-jumper begged the
girl to mo more shoot" and that he
was '.gif up everything" if he was only
permitted to live.
The heroic Miss Minnie dressed her
fallen foes wounds as best she could
none of which will prove serious-and
that evening the discounted enemy
was removed to friends house, three
miles away, where proper attention
could be given, and which he vows he
will leave only to 60 back to Germany.
The unanimous sentiment of the COM
munity sustains the young lady in her
brave battle for her home and her
rights and no prosecution will follow.

When She Comes Home.

When she comes home againi A thousand
ways
fashion, to myself the tenderness
OF my glad welcome: / shall tremble-yes;
And touch her, as when first in the old
days '
l touched her girlish hand, nor dared up
raise
Mine eyes, such was my faint hearts sweet
distress.
Then silence: And the perfume of her
dress:
The room will sway a little, and haze
Cloy eyesight-soulsight even-for q space:
And tears-yes; and the ache here in the
throat,
To know that so ill deserve the place
Her arms make for me; and the sobbing note
stay with kisses, ere the fearful face
Again Is hidden in the old embrace.

that the men may render aid at once to
the injured with whom they come in

Captain johnson Sides, an intelli-
gent Piute Indian, says that the idea
prevalent among the whites that the
Piutes are gradually diminishing in
numbers is incorrect. The census re-
turns of. 1880 show that there were at
that time only $500, but he says many
of them were not counted, and that
there were fully 5000. He estimates
the present number of the tribe at
fully 5000. and probably $500

The Greatest GIFT He Ever Made.


IL has been stated In some OF our e1-
changes that Mr.. FL. II. Warner, Of Ro-
chester, n. Y, in the last eight years,
hes, through bis devotion to science,
built an astronomical observatory at an
estimated value of 100000, and given
between $4,000 and $4,000 in prizes for
astronomical discovery.
This Is al; very we'll, if Mr.. Warner
seeks to divert his energies In this chan
mel. But from all W. can hear among
the people, if ne never gave anything to
the world except his great remedy,
Warmers safe cure, formerly known as
Warmers safe kidney and liver cure, he
would be comforting the most practical
and far-reaching benefit thst it is II the
power of any one man to give the pup
lie.
It is now conceded that he has the
only specific for kidney disease and uric
acid in the blood, and medical authorl-
ties of candor agree that If the blood IS
freed from uric acid by that great
remedy and the kidneys are kept IN
health, over ninety per cent of human
diseases disappears.
The manufacturers evidently know,
and if they do not, we would like TO
tell them, of the unanimity of public
sentiment in favor of their great RENE
dy: indeed, they seem to realize this,
when they say, "If you do not believe
the statements we make, ask your
friends and neighbors what they think OF
Warmers safe cure" Such evidence of
confidence in the established character
and worth of their preparation is un-
precedented. Unless they know it has
merit, and will do precisely what they
state, they would not dare give such adj
vice to the public.
Such confidence ought to be infec-
tious.
